Description

With its state-of-the-art RISC-based processor and advanced multimedia capability, the all-in-one Apple Macintosh Performa 5400 computer is ready to inspire your creativity and boost your productivity.

The computer's 120-megahertz PowerPC 603e processor and 16 megabytes of RAM let you easily run an abundance of Macintosh applications--and there's plenty of room to store them on the 1.6-gigabyte inter-nal hard drive. To get you started, there are more than a dozen learning, home, and entertainment programs, plus a collection of multimedia reference CDs.

The Performa 5400 includes a CD-ROM drive for multimedia appli-cations and a 15-inch monitor (12.8-inch diagonal viewable image size) to display vibrant colors. There's also a built-in microphone to directly record your own sounds. Multimedia play-back is made more lifelike through the built-in stereo speakers enhanced by SRS 3D surround sound and the Macintosh 16-bit stereo sound system.

To connect to the world of information services, including the Internet, the Performa 5400 features a built-in 28.8-kilobits-per-second modem. The modem also allows you to use your computer as a fax or answering machine.

If you need even more advanced capabilities in the future, expansion is easy through the industry-standard Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slot and built in SCSI support. For example, you can add the capabilities of watching television in a Macintosh window and recording video from VCRs and video cameras.

The Macintosh Performa 5400: A powerful, convenient system for all your home and office computing tasks.
